Watch out, you might get sold!

He already got a temp. ban a couple of weeks ago for that same reason; we can only hope that this one will not be temporary..... (I'm assuming that after being banned once for spamming trust system, spamming it once again will not go unpunished...)

As stated in the OP and several times....


You need to get merit to rank up (in your case, because the activity is rather large). To get merit, some user has to consider a post of yours a quality one, and then, s/he will send some meriit (or not)

Another brand new asking for a loan offering ID as collateral, with "high guaranteed return". Very similar to the last flag

Flag link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=588

I believe that can be done, even manually, but since the user has stated twice that has supported the flag



and yet he has showed up in none of them, I don't think someone would say that is going to do/has done something twice and lie about it

The personal incident was just to point out that flags should be placed by the action, rather than the amount.

And I actually agree with you, it's not okay to assume all newbies are scammers. I have discouraged that same attitude in Meta some times. On the other hand, all those actions (valid collateral, escrow,....) are taken because lending to a newbie/brand new account is risky AF. If on the OP no collateral/escriw is mentioned, I consider a type 1 flag OK, since the action is high risk. If upon further discussion OP agrees to use escrow/provides valid collateral, I would stop supporting the flag

PS: support still not showing, I may PM theymos as this might be a bug?

Brand new user, and the first thing he decides to do is to ask for 3 BTC, providing ID as collateral and wanting to be contacted by email rather than the forum

Flag link:https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=583

Welp, but at least Uber offered a rather neccesary service; as taxis (at least here) had quite the monopoly/mob.

Up to a point I do actually agree with you. But since the "incident" I had with a "likely scammer", and some neg trust+flag left behind, I'm well aware that it's not about the amount to be scammed, but actually about the scam itslef (the situation was a whole misunderstanding caused by some devil-ish beer I had had). That's why even if it's still up to the lender to take the risk, a type 1 flag is okay to me; because the action itself is high-risk.

PS: I dont see you are supporting the flag

So I can actually report those macro-quotes of Twitter and Facebook links I see every time I get into Patrol? Oh man, this is going to be so much fun

New user, requesting an exhorbitantly big loan, assuring "there are no risks involved". No collateral is ever mentioned.

Flag link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=579

Requesting some love on these 2 type 1 flags:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=557
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=558

Reason: likely scammers/loan defaulters.

Reference will go to a thread I've just created here that I intend to use for only Lending board flags

Example 1

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5170230.0

Old newbie account, recently wakes up, changes email and heads almost straight on to ask for a loan.


Does he provide collateral? Yes; but when a bit research is done...


Would I consider this high risk? Yes.

Some more "evidence"


So, based on that, and some other evidence provided by other users, I do now create a type 1 flag; as I believe that dealing with the user is high risk (yes, I'm pretty sure that you people here on Rep board already know that; but I want to leave nothing at random).

Example 2

Newbie asking for a loan with an invalid collateral.


He is told that his collateral is not valid due to various factors, and he replies telling how much it did cost to develop, yada yada....


After that reply, user stops answering on the thread, a couple of other users say how likely he is to scam.... and suddenly and out of the blue, the OP gets edited


So back on topic; would I consider dealing with this user as high-risk? Definately

Link to the flag: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=558

Recently, I've been giving some thought to flags and "disposable" accounts used in the lending board to try to scam by defaulting the loan. It is my understanding that flag type 1 can be used when, even if there has been not malicious act; the intentions may be, and the flag acts as a warning. So for that same reason, I've decided to create the thread; so that instead of creating a new one for each user that looks "suspicious enough", and taking into consideration that the reason would be the same for all the flags; I see no harm in using a single one to place all of the flags, and using the post rather than the thread as a reference.

I'll leave a couple of examples on the post below this one; and will use this one to display a table of all the flags created, linking each flagged profile to the post of reference. Anyone can create a post to flag here; this is not just for myself.

Will this stop people creating disposable accounts? I hope so, but believe it not. However, I do believe that if the account gets burnt fast enough, scamming is less likely to happen.

Edit: I am not saying that every user who gets flagged is a scammer; if any user believes that has been incorretly flagged, that can be discussed here (as it will be the reference thread) and the rest of the users will decide whether to keep supporting it, oppose it, join it or whatever they wish

Thanks to suchmoon and Darkstar_ for pointing me out that this was rather doable referencing me to this thread of Steamtyme

List of flagged users:

Table may be a bit sloppy; I hope it improves with time

So we can not think that you are a scammer because we "lack facts" and have not dealt/used your services, and thus, we are believing something (your own words). BUT you can call as all child rapists, I'm going to guess that with some hard evidence so that you stick to your own rules, and there is no problem to that? I believe we all want to know that evidence you had to call us rapists; because otherwise you should have left that opinion in Gods' house


Please; make it CLEAR

En efecto; por ejemplo parte (modificada) de mi wallet ID seria


pero como bien indicas, solo es para blockchain.com (.info era la antigua, y de ahi mi error)

And for that same reason, that little thingy called "Report to moderator" exists; to "filter" shiposts from quality posts

Por lo que comentas, has descargado el cliente de Core. Creo que si que existe una manera de "capar" el tamaño de la blockchain que descarga; pero de no hacerlo te descarga los 240GB (aproximadamente) que pesa a dia de hoy. Si no tienes problema alguno de espacio, y tu ordenador se mantiene encendido bastante tiempo, te recomendaria esperar a que la descarga finalice y luego configurarlo como nodo activo de la red (abrir puerto 8333 del router).

De tener problemas de espacio, siempre puedes descargar un cliente mas ligero, que no descargue toda la blockchain (por ejemplo Electrum).

Si decides utilizar un cliente "lite", guarda primero la clave privada de la direccion/es que tiene/n fondos; para poder exportarlas a la nueva wallet y no perder tus fondos. Creo (remarco el creo), que si has apuntado la "seed", tambien puedes importarla a un cliente Lite, y asi no tendrias que importar las claves privadas (hacer un sweep)

Hey there! Sorry it took me so long to reply, but I was away on vacation only to get back home and discover that my ISP had changed....

Getting back on topic:


Windows Firewall and Microsoft Defender  , had both whitelisted the app and I launched the program as an admin. I don't think there is an issue with that.

Core has around 70 connections when lauched normally; but when I create the config file, it goes down hard and is rather slow; honestly, I think it has the same behaviour as when I have not oppened the ports on the router



I believe that goes beyond my technical knowledge....

My bad; I meant oficial/forum related translations, not SEO or title editing. As if theymos created a thread on a staff only board, and each local mod translated it to his language; so that theymos can later on copy paste it. And yes, local mods can also create stickies
